Anyone in Baton Rouge interested in trying that hybrid saison yeast that frat linked a few pages back? I'm thinking about picking up some more omega yeast next week and will throw a pack on if someone wants to split the shipping cost.


As long as it isn't too crazy expensive I would be in.

I'm thinking more along the lines of making a starter, splitting it up and having a few different batches to use.

Then again, I don't think I will be making many sours anyways, so I probably won't need to do this.

I know a lot of people use Wyeast's lacto with good results too, s14?? Gigayeast also makes a 'fast souring' lacto blend that I'd like to eventually try.


Yep. Followed Chico's advice. Wyeast lacto followed by german ale a few days later.

Cinque de Zappa Dust in el cuñete. Nose is bleeding aroma and the tongue is a sock-hop dance floor with Rye Cooder playing "Freak Out"!

One is the blow off to my carboy cap...you can see it in the pic in the foreground down low....orange cap. When I pulled it off the carboy I just let it flop away from me.

Ah, gotcha. Was wondering if it was some fancy north Texas hippy type contraption down there out of the picture.

Hey Bottomland (or any other resident saison makers)

I am going to make a saison towards the end of the summer that will have Nelson Sauvin hops and wild grapes. I'm wondering what yeast would work best with that combination. I'm thinking about timing it with the release of WLP585 Saison III. Do you think that yeast would work well here? If not I will probably go with 565 again, unless something else is recommended that I think sounds good.

WLP585 is the best White labs saison strain and works great in the 70's. If you have the heat (80+), go for Wyeast 3724 for a more traditional saison characteristic.

B's gonna roll his eyes for me suggesting brett, but I did a saison with nelson suavin and wine extract a year or so back and used Danstar Belle Saison and Wyeast Brett lambicus. It's an awesome combination of ingredients. Took a while.

is 3724 basically the same thing as White Labs 565?

WLP565 and Wyeast 3724 are supposed to be the same, but in my experience, 3724 is less of an a-hole than 565. They'll both stall if you let them, but 3724 is easier to keep from stalling.

I actually thought about a NS pale ale, but I think the grapes will go better with a saison. If you have any other suggestions for a yeast to use, I'm all ears.
